Art on Broadway tickets
About Art
See Bobby Cannavale, James Corden, and Neil Patrick Harris star in this Tony Award-winning comedy. Art plays at the Music Box Theatre starting this August for a strictly limited run. This marks the first revival of the hit play by Yasmina Reza (God of Carnage), and Tony nominee Scott Ellis (Pirates! The Penzance Musical) directs.
Art on Broadway follows three friends, Serge, Marc and Yvan. Serge (Harris) buys an expensive painting — an all-white painting with even fainter white lines. Marc (Cannavale) can't stand the "painting," which leaves Yvan (Cordon) stuck in the middle. Intelligent debates about art, and silly ones about friendship, ensue, leaving the friends more confused than they were before the purchase.
“Ever since I first saw the original production, it has been etched into my mind as a hysterical and moving portrayal of friendship, compromise, and the power of art to change perspectives," producer Michael Shulman said in a statement.
That original Broadway production had a similarly star-studded cast in 1998: Alan Alda, Victor Garber, and Alfred Molina, who was Tony-nominated for his performance. Now, after taking home the Tony Award for Best Play, the play returns to Broadway.
It also marks Corden's return to Broadway for the first time in 13 years after winning a Tony Award for One Man, Two Guvnors. Harris is also a Broadway alum, winning a Tony Award for Hedwig and the Angry Inch (plus multiple Emmys for hosting the Tonys). Emmy winner Cannavale was last seen on stage in Here We Are, the final musical written by the late Stephen Sondheim. Together with multi-Tony nominee Ellis directing, this play promises to be hilarious with expert performances.

Didn’t like it Obvious plot Would not see again
Honestly thought this play lacked depth and I didn’t really like the story or acting. James cordon was great and everyone else unfortunately fell flat.
Kind of found the play to be boring. James cordon was a great actor.
